Add Detail Line error

[Japhy]

Dimensioning in Revit via the API takes some setup, our current components aren’t equipped to handle many common scenarios.

Dimensioning Points and Lines

Hi Ali, The dimensions in RiR aren’t particularly intuitive. To do this seamlessly there would need to be configuration components. The current process requires specific Revit Geometric references like you mentioned above. Here i added Dummy Detail lines, but like you said, not clean or ideal situation. [image]

Here’s a start on Dimensioning a Family to the nearest Horizontal and Vertical Grid. This isn’t going to solve your problem and currently only works for one element with Named References. I’ll tweak it a bit tomorrow to make it a little more friendlier.

RiR_AddDim_El-Grid.gh (20.6 KB)

Updated to handle multiple targets and requires the button to be mashed to run.

Note the outlier at the bottom left where the nearest gridline wasn’t perpendicular.
